To be added

All stat changes as a result of changing classes are simply the
difference between the base stats of
the new class and the initial class. (The exact changes may differ
from what is listed on this site due to the class' maximum stats.)

When a character changes from a promoted to a non-promoted class,
they may receive a significant decrease to their stats (especially
if the character has many capped stats). However don't worry,
because the game keeps track of all stat gains, so their long-term
growth is unaffected.

If a character cannot use a weapon type in their new class, but
could in their original class, that weapon type does not carry over
(but gained Weapon Exp is remembered).How to change class

There are two methods of changing classes in Awakening--Promotion and
Reclassing. Both require the character to be Level 10 or higher and
the use of a special item.

After a character changes class, their displayed Level will be reset
to 1 and their internal Level
adjusted accordingly. Furthermore, all of their learned Skills will be retained. By changing class
multiple times, characters can gain higher stats and have more
Skills at their disposal.

Promotion (via Master Seal)

When a
character is Level 10 or higher in their non-promoted
class, they may use a Master Seal item to upgrade
to one of two promoted classes.

Cavaliers can promote to the mobile and magic-resistant
Paladin or the axe-wielding and sturdy Great Knight.
Meanwhile, Clerics can promote to the axe-wielding War
Cleric or the offensive magic-wielding Sage.

When a
character is Level 10 or higher in their non-promoted
class (or any level in their promoted class), they may use
a Second Seal item to reclass to one of three
non-promoted classes (e.g. Cavalier). The classes a
character can reclass to are restricted by the character's
personality and upbringing.

Furthermore, if the character is Level 10 or higher in
their promoted class (or Level 30 in a special class), in
addition to the non-promoted classes, they can also
reclass to the corresponding promoted classes (e.g.
Paladin or Great Knight for Cavaliers).

Finally, when a character is at their maximum Level, they
may also reclass to their current class again (e.g.
Cavalier to Cavalier).

The Dread Scroll and Wedding Bouquet items function
exactly like Second Seals, but always reclass the
character to a Dread Fighter or Bride respectively.

For a list of each character's available classes, please
see the class sets page.

The Avatar is a special case, as he/she can use a Second Seal to
reclass to every class (gender permitting), except special classes like
Lord, Dancer, Villager, Taguel, Manakete, Lodestar or Conqueror.

Example

In Kellam's case, he starts off as a Knight, so he can promote to a
General or Great Knight by using a Master Seal, when he's Level 10
or higher.

When he's a Level 10+ Knight or a Level 1+ General or Great Knight,
he can use a Second Seal to reclass to a Thief or Priest or even a
Knight again (and therefore access their corresponding promoted
classes by using a Master Seal at the appropriate Level).

Finally, when he reaches Level 10 or higher in any promoted class,
he can use the Second Seal to reclass to any of the classes
available to him.
